The governing body shall hear appeals from the assessments of benefits and shall determine them. The action of the governing body in approving or revising the assessments shall be final and conclusive. As soon as the governing body has passed upon the appeals, and the court has entered an order sustaining the right to take the property in all proceedings brought to review compensation and damages for property to be taken, the governing body may order bonds to be issued and sold without waiting for determination of the amount of compensation and damages to be awarded to the owners in the proceeding pending in the superior court.
